Definitions

  • non-expandable in the context of this invention means that a material varies the volume thereof by not more than or less than 10% in the process steps envisaged for said material.
  • non-expandable adhesives can shrink to a minor degree when curing.
  • Such a volumetric variation when curing is considered to be “non-expandable” in the context of this application.
